Trump shooter purchased 50 rounds of ammunition hours earlier than capturing
Donald Trump‘s would-be assassin purchased 50 rounds of ammunition just hours before the shooting, according to bombshell reports.
The Secret Service also did not sweep the roof where gunman Thomas Matthew Crooks opened fire at the former president.
The horrifying new developments reported by CNN come as the Secret Service faces mounting questions over how the 20-year-old managed to get just 130 yards from where Trump was speaking in Butler, Pennsylvania.
Crooks shot Trump in the ear with an AR-style rifle his father purchased legally.
A new video emerged on Monday shows Trump fans looking, pointing and questioning why Crooks was on the roof.
Multiple witnesses have said they warned law enforcement that a gunman was crawling on the building, but didn’t respond before he started shooting.
‘Look, they’re all pointing,’ the man behind the camera is heard saying as it pans from the stage to the warehouse roof where a figure is seen crawling. ‘Yeah someone’s on top of the roof – look.’
The roof where Crooks lay down with his weapon was flagged as a security concern, and was swept by local law enforcement not the Secret Service.
